a Monday, June 7. 1976 WELLSVILLE DAILY REPORTER. WELLSVILLE. NEW YORK Page 3 Sit A ANGELICA-Mrs. Mary Lou Burt, candidate for the Angelica Board of Education, today claimed the present board has become "defensive, at times openly hostile and has lost the confidence of many area residents." In a five-page handwritten statement, Mrs.

Burt lists incidentssome of which she says she observed at board meetings-which lead to her charges. -Many of the incidents relate to the controversial decision of the board to deny tenure to teacher-athletic director LaVerne Chadderdon. Mrs. Burt says Mr. Chadderdon deserves to know why he was denied tenure, "No one in Angelica knows the real reason," her statement said, "including, I understand, Mr.

do not believe this is our way in America." Mrs. Burt also claims the board of education failed to consider an outpouring of support for Mr. Chadderdon from parents and students following the denial of tenure. "The decision caused such an intense reaction," she said, that petitions in support of him by 240 adults and 195 school-children were presented to the board at the May meeting. The board accepted and agreed to observe the documents.

It appears the petitions and therefore the feelings of many people the board is supposed to represent have been ignored since then." She said the Chadderdon incident differs from teacher dismissals and resignations in the past because of the reaction it triggered among faculty, parents and children. Mrs. Burt adds she "was appalled" that Supervising Principal Robert Aronson was asked to leave the board's executive session where the Chadderdon tenure was discussed. Mr. Aronson recommended tenure, she claims.

Mrs. Burt lists other incidents which contributed to her conclusion that "communications are very poor" between the present board and school district residents: -the Angelica school nurse-teacher was not asked for her experience with gymnasium accidents, even though she kept logs of such accidents and the board sought statistics from other schools in the county; -a parent who wished to discuss her child's school problems at a board meeting was told to take it up with the principal at another time because the matter was not on the board's agenda that night; -an observer, during a discussion of accident policies, was told the board would not discuss the matter because "board meetings are overlong as it is." -finally, Mrs. Burt says "some Angelica residents' feel the refusal of accept letter of resignation from its president Gunther Heiss "was done in a spirit of pique and revenge." Mrs. Burt said her research showed Mr. Heiss' letter was properly submitted.

Because of the delay in accepting Heiss' resignation, the vacancy will not be filled until a special election July 6. The regular district election and budget vote is June 8. Mrs. Burt seeks the seat now held by Arthur Hayes, who is running for reelection. When contacted by The Dailey Reporter, Mr.

Hayes declined comment other than to say, "Mrs. Burt isn't aware of all the facts." A 40 al 60 CANOE RACE -Entrants in the second annual river at the club grounds.

CAMPING AND HEMLOCK HOLLOW CAMPSITE TRAILER Follow Signs South Of I FACILITIES, Shongo, N.Y Into Penna. ELECTRIC FLUSH TOILETS WATER DUMPING STATION George Nancy Emerson For More Information 716-593-5448 Or 814-228-3223 Friendship teachers: Contract fight an attempt to keep quality of education By MARTHA SPEETH FRIENDSHIP- Teachers, who had stayed away from a public discussion of Friendship Central School District's teacher contract problem last Thursday night. turned out in good numbers for one sponsored by students Saturday night The group called Concerned Students of Friendship Central School had distributed invitations to the community, and sent special ones to Board of Education members. School board members did not show up, at the snack-and-chat get-together in Island Park. but about 60 parents, teachers and students did As the teachers saw it, it would have been unwise and unproductive for them to attend the public meeting called by the Board of Education.

because that session was run by the opposing side in the district-versus-Friendship's Teachers' Association wrangle, and because the state Taylor Law prohibits public: airing of specifics of negotiations when agreement on a contract is pending. BUT THE gathering called by the students was sponsored by a "neutral teachers said. Even so. they would have to refrain from revealing exactly what had taken place, to date. in 14 months of negotiations which had not produced a 1975-76 contract.

Some said that they will study a transcript of the board's Thursday night session. to see whether the board had gone beyond the lawful limit. in airing areas of dispute that would be included in Taylor Law prohibitions of revealing the particulars of private negotiation sessions. Certain statements which had been made in the Thursday night session yielded questions the students and parents put to teachers. What is the significance of the teaching load issue which the Thursday night meeting had emphasized? Is it true that the teachers are being asked to give up certain benefits, and at least one contract clause they consider crucial.

in return for a $250 hike in base pay? Would it be possible for teaching positions to be eliminated by the board and administration, if settlement was reached along lines proposed by the district? WHAT WAS behind the court case Supervising Principal Jack Shaw had said was still pending after the F.T.A.'s legal counsel had failed to appear for two scheduled court dates? Why had some high school students been denied the chance to finish an English course, last year, as Mr. Shaw had stated, in connection with the "teacher overload" problem? Would a return to the old schedule. instead of the alternating day one used for the past several years. solve both the scheduling problem and the overload one? And why would the teachers deny the students advisor services. so important to such student activities as fundraising.

yearbook publication. and the senior trip? How about insurance benefits- do the teachers stand to lose some of them. and are those fringes too costly? F.T.A. president Donald Cady, a high school science teacher. and social studies teacher John Maxson fielded many of the questions, with other secondary and elementary teachers chiming in.

MONEY IS FAR from the primary issue. teachers confirmed. But teaching load is of utmost importance to teachers at all levels. Greater efforts to eliminate scheduling conflicts, would help prevent overloads of the type which had seen teachers file grievances and win, in the past. It was just such a case which had precipitated a seemingly sudden order to cancel a Drama II course.

with some 16 students losing that credit after six weeks of work. The overload had been apparent at the beginning of the course. but it was corrected only after a lengthy grievance procedure, teachers said. Fire destroys Main St. garage garage near an abandoned house in the village of Friendship burned to the ground early Sunday morning.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation. Friendship Fire Chief Lee Jordan said. The wooden structure was located behind an unoccupied house at 64 E. Main St. The property is owned by Bud Wereley.

Mr. Jordan said. but the house had been unoccupied for several years, and was in the process of being razed. The garage contained some old furniture, Mr. Jordan said.

About 30 Friendship firemen turned out for the 4:25 a.m. alarm. ('uba's fire company sent a pumper to stand by In Friendship. The mustang, before federal law protected him, was rounded up by the hundreds to be killed for pet food and chicken feed. Scheduling advanced French opposite two other important courses had dropped that French class in enrollment to the point that the French program was cut to quarter-time.

teachers explained Letting to many students enroll in certain electives. at the same time. could create unnecessary overloads. particularly in the English department TEACHERS INSISTED they could have their teaching loads doubled. if they accepted some kinds of changes in wording of the clause involved As they saw it.

this would pave the way to elimination of teaching positions. and eventual curtailment of the curriculum. The retroactivity of the $250 pay raise. as mentioned in the Thursday night meeting. would be dropped if agreement was not reached by June 8.

But the teachers said they would not be able to "sell out" for a token raise. if such was the suggestion. for they were not complaining that they were underpaid district has been pretty good. in the matter of salary. and we have never argued that, Mr (adv declared.

As for the court case. "That is a matter of public record." Mr. Cady said. It had to do with an overload in the kindergarten. in 1974.

which had gone through the grievance procedure to arbitration. with the decision being in favor of the teachers. The district had been ordered to correct the situation and pay overloaded teachers $200 each. on one decision. but the overload had continued.

until the end of the term. IF THE the New York State United Teachers (N.Y.S U.T.1 counsel. representing the teachers. had not appeared in court on an appointed date. that was news to the teachers.

They understood that 3 scheduled hearing had been postponed because of a legal holiday. once. and because of the inability of 8 key district official to attend. on another occasion Besides. the teachers had since agreed to a contract with a different load provision.

so they considered the court action dropped. Class size increases in the elementary grades "would not hurt the teachers. so much. but would hurt the Mrs. Mary Ellen Zacher said.

with agreement from other teachers in the grades. Lack of input in decisions and changes has hampered teachers. Mr. Maxson said. He recalled that teachers used to be much involved in arranging such matters as schedule changes and course offerings.

but he described the present process as arbitrary. FAIR dismissal clause which was put into the last negotiated contract IS 3 must. for teachers. it was agreed. but it does not amount to the "virtual tenure after less than a year" protection described in the Thursday night meeting probationary teacher can still be dismissed.

of course: the only difference is. they have to have 2 good reason. and it has to be revealed Teachers said they were very little for evaluation purposes. The teachers do not want to lose long term disability coverage for those who have taught more than 10 years in the state. as had been proposed The agent for the carrier.

Cyril F. Jordan. said such: coverage costs about $4 per teacher per month. and could not be purchased so cheaply outside the "package." He said he doesn't believe any other carrier can match Phoenix Mutual's premium. but he and the teachers do not see any need to retain a "named carrier" in the contract.

"We have had to grieve all these little things. just to get the contract lived up to. and we have won our Mr. Maxson said We have just two ways, under the law. to show our determination workto-rute.

and refusal of voluntary duties extra curricular help. But the contract is all that stands between us and deterioration of the school program Our fight for a contract is also a fight to prevent further erosion of the quality of education. Obituaries Mabel R. Metcalf HARRISON VALLEY, -Mrs. Mabel R.
